Common Q & A About iPad Menus by Open:
Q: What is an iPad menu?
A: An iPad menu is a carefully designed digital software suite that’s been created to operate on iPad tablets and iPhones (for mobile users). The software is simply synched to any devices operating on it. It allows users to view a fully featured and interactive restaurant menu from popular Apple devices like iPad tablets.
Q: Are the menus difficult to setup and implement?
A: Absolutely not. If you can use any computer, word processing software or write and send an email, you can easily setup these menus, and full support is offered. Once you have activated your service plan, you simply design your menus by labeling each menu name, entering in item descriptions and prices, and adding pictures. It’s that simple.
Q: What features will patrons love about the menus?
A: From the moment that patrons are handed an iPad tablet in lieu of a static paper menu, they will be wowed from the start. Now they can see lavish and vivid pictures of menu items (and studies show that pictures of food actually sells more food). They can browse and read detailed descriptions, learn more about pairing options and even enter custom cooking specifications for their meal (like medium-rare steak, etc.). Additionally, they can request a waiter by merely tapping the “request waiter” button on the menu, which informs their server that table service has been requested.
Q: Can I use the menus on any iPad or can they only be used on proprietary hardware?
A: Yes, you can use our software on any compatible iPad tablet. We offer them at fabulous rates as well. But you certainly don’t have to buy them from us just to use our wonderful service.
Q: How do iPad menus increase sales, retention and customer loyalty?
A: Where do you think that guests want to dine at, the place that offers the latest and greatest digital fascination alongside of excellent customer service and a delectable menu, or the place that offers similar things but has no digital technology? When people find something that they love, something technologically profound, they tell other people. In par with your service and menu standards, iPad menus can help spur sales and improve retention while encouraging patrons to spread the word-of-mouth to other prospective patrons (a form of targeted, organic marketing that money simply can’t buy). And, they help increase your level of service to patrons exponentially, too.
Q: Are the menus difficult to use for employees and staff?
A: Not at all. Most people use smart devices or have a home computer. The software is very intuitive and user friendly. Chances are that after a few minutes of using it, you will be a pro, as will your staff. Minimal training time is required.
Q: Is the software affordable?
A: Yes it is. We have several different packages that you can choose from at very affordable rates. When compared to menu printing and design costs that most businesses incur annually, the solution basically pays for itself.
